remove the tranny mount, buy a new manual tranmission mount have that welded on, run the clutch lines/resovoir; get a manual ecu, and prepare for a bit of wiring.

when you get frustrated, get up & walk away, come back to it when your calm!

Not the most fun project!

ok ive researched this and a lot of people say it is a lot harder to do then a motor swap. im working on it with a mechanic, so i think we will be ok. the only thing is they all say i need to buy a special tranny mount kit. it that true since we are welding the manual tranny meount to the car?
